Iris Murdoch was one of the best loved and most respected British writers of the second half of the twentieth century. A novelist and philosopher, she could uniquely appeal to both an academic and a popular audience. Her wild emotional life, her many love affairs, her war work with UNRRA, her move from youthful communism to Thatcherism, her later life as a secular saint beloved for her gentle spirituality, her sad decline from Alzheimer's disease - all these events are detailed in this accessible chronology, which charts the passage of a remarkable life and provides fresh insight into Murdoch's novels.

Industry Reviews

'This title would be a useful addition to any university library supporting courses in contemporary fiction, women's writing and philosophy. The popular appeal of Murdoch's writing may also make this title of interest to public libraries.' - Linda Kemp, Reference Reviews
